"We used Linda and her team for 5+ years. We have used them for house/pet sitting for short and long (10 days) trips. Our house is always cleaner than I left it. Our dogs love Linda and Justine, becoming excited when they drive up. Linda stayed with our seriously ill Golden Retriever during a trip ( we didn't realize how sick she was). She worked diligently to love, feed and encourage medication day and night. When she finally passed away, Linda came to cry with us. Our current dog is a handful but Linda has always found ways to expend energy, even looking for play dates for her. Linda has cared for our dog, our home and didn't even balk when I added my grand dog into a weekend. I'm sorry there are people who had difficult experiences but I have always found Linda and her team to exceed my expectations and love and care for my dogs." Nancy A.

"We have been with Justine of Happy Tails for over a year now and our pups could not be happier! They look forward to every visit. She is incredibly kind; a great communicator; and is willing to work with challenging schedules. I recommend her whenever the opportunity arises." Shelley S.

"Justine is very sweet to my dog and "Treats" her just as if I would !I know this because my dog will let me know as she's so excited to see her and there was a day when I canceled and I could sense my dog was anxious around her sitters arrival time, I want to see my buddy!!!! She also keeps me updated with any behaviors that might be unusual.I feel comfortable leaving my trust in Justine and Co." Soph M.

"Justine has been so wonderful about caring for my two cats while I've had to be out of town. She is great about checking in each day and sending photos, and she is so easy to reach if I have questions or want to touch base. It is so nice to be able to trust that they are well cared for when I am gone!" Renate S.

"We have been using Happy Tails for several months now and we love Justine! My dogs are happy and calm after a visit from Justine. She has a great attitude and is easy to communicate with. We are lucky to have found Happy Tails and Justine." Cynthia M.

“I wouldn't trust my pet to anyone else"Linda S.

“ Linda treats my Cecil like one of her own"Scott S.

“Linda is warm, caring and responsible. She goes beyond the call of duty (fresh flowers in the house when we get home) and my dog Jazz loves her. She has even taken pictures of Jazz and emailed them to me so I can see her while I’m away. What a woman, I would recommend her highly! You want peace of mind…Call Linda." Roxanne W.

“When your dog or cat is a member of your family, you want someone to care for them that you can trust. Linda Evenrude is that person. She is dependable and nurturing and gives our dog the attention and love that they require. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety, and Linda is the only one that she is happy to be with outside of us. We highly recommend her for taking care of one of your most important family members!"Mitzi K.

“When you have difficult pups it can be troublesome to find a responsible person to take care of them when you leave for a vacation. I have found I can't trust many people to watch my pups, they don't respect what I ask from them. That is why I was SO happy to have found Linda Evenrude from Happy Tails Napa Valley to watch my two wild and crazy pups, Kenny and Ranger. She became instant friends with them and followed all of the 'rules' that I had discussed with her pertaining to the specific needs of my dogs. When my husband and I came back from vacation, they had been walked daily and looked very healthy and happy. I can't say enough about how pleased I was to have found her; now my husband and I can leave without any worries. Thank you Linda!"Erica C.
